noted generals and others. The battle of
Chickamauga will be considered In the

by talented poets add much to the num-
Der.
The frontspiece Of Scri6nsr's Magazine
for March is portrait of M. Thiers not

discussion Of the whole subject of earth

are several interesting views of the effects
of the recent Charleston earthquakes.
"Aunt Fountains Prisoner" is short
story by Joel Chandler Harris. which dis.

of "Uncle Remus." Ex- Minister Wash

lishment Of the Commune, and many Of
the exciting and terrible incidents that
occurred during Its reign. "Seth's Broth

comes up to the high expectations aroused
by the earlier instalments. The STORY
of New York House" comes down tp a
somewhat later period in history and II
loses none of the grace and charm which
aroused such interest In its opening chapt-
ers. Mr.. Frost's drawings are admirable
in spirit and execution. The Bayeux

with productions of striking scenes is of
the greatest interest and value. 81 S. of
